Eolic marine electrical generator GEEM

ABSTRACT

In short, the Eolic Marine Electrical Generator “GEEM” is an extraordinary invention used for capturing the huge impulse force of water or wind, to generate mechanical energy and to transform the mechanical energy into electrical energy, clean and ecological, without consuming vital oxygen thanks to the invention of immense split, self-regulating panels, radially fixed in dihedral angle to a rotary central shaft, panels which capture by shock the inexhaustible energy of the wind, the waves or the ocean currents; or fixed on rotary or flying machines of high speed, with panels formed at the same time by oscillating vanes that at a certain time of a turn of 360° will face the natural energy as a single group or panel, capturing therefrom the impulse force and converting it into rotary movement through the central rotary shaft. Said vanes in other rotation, by oscillation, will divide the panel and will align themselves with the natural vector, permitting its free passage, eliminating the turning resistance of the panel against water or wind and generating a constant rotation movement, independent of the direction of water or wind, and then transforming said mechanical energy into electrical energy by existing conventional means.  
     The invention will allow men to renew their resources and to obtain electrical energy from anywhere in the planet such as cities, countryside, deserts, forests, mountains, seas, floating cities or spaces such as the Arctic and the Antarctic, neither polluting the environment, nor depending on costly networks or non-renewable inputs. The invention will also generate electrical energy on fleets, land vehicles or airship without consuming non-renewable fuel or destroying oxygen. Moreover, this invention replaces the internal combustion engines by eolic electrical motors, changing the scenery of the modern world and recovering the ozone lost in the Antarctic. And this invention will also be used when men in future colonize planets, without rivers or seas but with plenty of wind, to generate electrical energy without polluting this new vital space of the human race.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The invention belongs to the “Energy” or electrical energy generation sector, because the fundamental objective of the invention, is to generate electrical energy, taking advantage of wind force, the flow of river waters, or marine currents and the waves of the sea.

STATE OF THE ART

[0002] The present state of the art in the field of Eolic Electrical Generation at the time of requesting the patent, is by converting mechanical energy into electrical energy, using rotors with propeller like blades or fans and in the marine and river sector by the use of water turbines, with universities such as the National Engineering University and the Catholic University of Perú, have sponsored recent courses on eolic and river generator construction, and it is also known that series of large towers have been constructed in USA, based on that technology, to generate electrical energy by the same system.

[0003] The latest in the world is a tower constructed in Germany, 100 m. high, with a single propeller blade 50 m in diameter, having very high generating capacity and very expensive, the construction details of which are not known for reasons of patent.

[0004] In the hydraulic sector, references can be found a century ago, to Herón of Alexandria, who invented a steam engine, following Leonardo Da Vinci and many others seeking to take advantage of the resources of the live force of water for power. The requirements of the industrial revolution for more energy, enabled Claude Bourdín in 1824, to create the first hydraulic turbine, consisting of a machine providing a mechanism rotating at great speed, turned by the force of water beating against its blades or vanes.

[0005] Shortly afterwards, the Englishman, James B. Francis, created the centripetal turbine, giving a greater power yield and being the most widely used in our time, to which were added, the Pelton wheel type turbine with very concave vanes and all the developments made to these systems, which do however, require monumental costs for construction of suitable dams.

[0006] In the marine sector, the use of turbines combined with dams are known, to take advantage of the force of tides, dams able to control the flow and reflux of water and the use of reversible transmission turbines, that could convert both the ingress and discharge of water with the same efficiency. Various small domestic models have been developed in recent years, in Peru.

[0007] None of the aforementioned cases uses an oscillatory self-regulating blade, which, if it existed, from evidence of its high electricity generating capacity and low initial cost, would be the object of spectacular industrial development.

[0008] Precedents for the direct use of the force of the wind, can be found in its use on sailing ships, which were first impelled by this means over five thousand five hundred years ago, continuing until Leonardo da Vinci; who was hoping to create flying machines, using the force of the wind, a technology that was being evolved after the sailing ships which released men from his chains and the use of oars.

[0009] The sailing ship, made it possible for wind to drive heavy vessels, enabling Europeans to discover new continents and colonize large parts of the planet. This state of the art remained frozen at this time in history, because nothing more than mechanical energy was required. When electricity was invented, thoughts turned to producing it and techniques were developed to generate electrical energy by other means, but the correct response to the challenge of the wind was not found by using it to turn large panels to obtain effective rotary movement. The discovery of new physical and technical resources such as the power of steam and then the internal combustion engine, nuclear energy and other inventions, relegated eolic and marine energy, which could provide a powerful impulse to the electrical development of humanity, to second place.

[0010] However, man has used wind with success, from time immemorial to build large windmills, which were the optimum in technique of generating mechanical energy in their time, illustrated in literature, by the combat of the immortal Don Quixote against the black magic personified by the wind windmills, which still exist in the fields of Europe until today.

[0011] If the same way, mills with heavy stone discs are still in use in some towns in Peru, driven by a small flow of water and used to pulverize corn or wheat grains.

[0012] Man at this very moment should be building various appliances to find a good response to a problem outlined many centuries ago and this proposal of a “GEEM”, might be final response to recover for humanity, so much energy from the wind, river and sea waters

DESCRIPTIVE REPORT

[0013] The invention designated “EOLIC MARINE ELECTRICAL GENERATOR” abbreviated to “GEEM”, consists of a machine which captures natural aquatic or eolic energy, being clean, renewable, inexhaustible and non contaminating, transforming it into mechanical energy, and then, electrical energy, by means of conventional transformers or dynamos existing in the world market.

[0014] The “GEEM”, is an invention of variable size and form according to its cost and electrical generating capacity. It is characterize by presenting a large surface for impounding natural energy, wind and water, different from existing systems of vanes or turbine.

[0015] The system consists of a fixed static structure, metallic or of reinforced concrete, containing or serving to support a rotary structure, formed by joining four or more flat panels, having a split surface divided into sections, which can be programmed to open or close between stops, welded to a rotary shaft in a dihedral angle or in radial form.

[0016] The rotary shaft installed in the center of the fixed structure, will turn in one direction only regardless of the direction of the impulsing force of water or wind, and will produce constant rotary movement, that will have be converted into electrical energy through existing conventional generators.

[0017] The essence of the invention, is based on the variable, split sections of the panel surface, which, initially are closed, presenting a flat surface totally facing the natural energy source, impounding its impulsive force. Second, they open allowing the energy medium to flow past at the moment the panel turns against the direction of the natural energy source, by means of oscillating, flat, rectangular vanes in the form of a “Z”, which turn on a lateral shaft, installed one after the other, until covering the whole area of the panel. Vanes with oscillatory movement, controlled by stops which limit their rotation to a maximum of 90°, and are regulated or aligned by adjusting bars or cables, operating in the following way:

[0018] The vanes, overlapped and aligned, by means of an initial alignment stop, parallel to the axis of the panel frame; will present a totally closed panel with a continuous surface as if it were not split. If this position is considered as the initial or closed movement, the panel will be facing the water or wind direction, with a large contact or resistance area, thus changing the direction of the water or wind vector, because with a minimum of four panels in the system, there will always be one in the closed position, or facing the direction of the wind or water vector, impounding its energy without any need of adapting itself to the direction of the natural element as is the case of models with existing vanes or turbines.

[0019] In the following quarter revolution, the same panel that was facing the water or wind force in the closed position, will be aligned with its direction, with the vanes aligned with the axis of the panel, permitting the free passage of the natural force without offering any resistance.

[0020] In the third quarter revolution, the vanes will turn to ninety degrees to the axis of the panel by the effect of a final turning stop and will be located in a position perpendicular to the axis of the panel frame, aligned with the direction of movement of the water or wind, presenting as a total area of resistance, only the sum of the thicknesses of their two faces, designed as elements to resist flexion of the vane.

[0021] In the last quarter revolution, by the effect of the final oscillation stop, the vanes will be maintained in the open or position perpendicular to the axis of the panel, giving as a maximum turning resistance of the panel, only the width of one vane, with the vanes ready to move to the initial zero position, closing the whole surface area of the panel and being turned successively on a rotary impulse, as with the pistons of an internal combustion engine, to generate a unidirectional rotary movement, firm and independent of the direction of the water or wind.

[0022] The oscillatory movement of the vanes will be controlled or aligned by steel or nylon cables, or of other material, which, installed at the end of the vanes will synchronize their movements, avoiding any the lag in the initial oscillatory movement because of worn bearings or other factors.

[0023] In synthesis, the function of the oscillating vanes, is to create a resistant, light, variable panel, with the capacity to oppose the firm resistance of the force of water or wind. To impound its great energy, generate rotary unidirectional movement, and then to be aligned with the vector, opening like a colander or venetian blind, to allow the water or wind to pass and eliminate return resistance, obtaining a gain of power over resistance, achieving the objective of creating an Eolic Marine Electrical Generator, which is efficient, clean, ecological and permanent, with the complement of speed change gear boxes and existing generators or dynamos on the market, including accumulators and transformers to maintain a uniform flow of electrical energy, in power houses or generation rooms making use of the invention.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN EOLIC AND MARINE MODELS

[0024] Form and Position

[0025] In the colic model, the position of the “GEEM” will be with the rotary shaft, installed in a vertical position, as can be seen in the vertical elevation of a domestic model in figure GEEM-2 or the vertical elevation of an industrial model having three panels, one above the other, in GEEM-3, with a large impounding or impulse surface, where the fixed structure consisting of external columns, which may be of steel or concrete, can be seen.. The structure serving as support to the bearings of the rotary shaft, in industrial models, may be gigantic in the size of the panel frames or arms and in height.

[0026] In the marine model, the form and position of the “GEEM”, is defined by the horizontal position of the rotary shaft and the vanes, with a fixed structure of two forms:

[0027] One.—One submerged in another floating structure, or anchored floats, which will have two vertical rails for sliding the fixed structure, included the rotary shaft bearings, into position.

[0028] Two.—Submerged, anchored to the bed, with steel columns or reinforced concrete plates, in rivers or on beaches, that likewise contain rails to submerge the fixed structure of this model, according to plan: Floating Marine Generator GEEM-4, and Fixed Marine Generator GEEM-5.

[0029] The fixed structure, in the small or large eolic models, by reasons of space in the support area, can be of radial form, with two columns at ninety degrees or less, that could cover a quarter circle or less, requiring the “GEEM”, with a double horizontal structure of trusses, which, starting from the columns meet at the center, where they serve as support for the rotary shaft, being able to keep stable equilibrium and resist wind forces or shock waves due to seismic tremors if such exist in the area.

[0030] In the large industrial multiple models, fixed structures will be built, with diametrical girders or at hundred eighty degrees, containing at the central point, the rotary shaft bearings.

[0031] A third eolic model with fixed structure consists of a fixed vertical shaft over the generating room, on which the rotary shaft supported by bearings external to the fixed shaft, will turn, having trusses or turnbuckles external to the fixed shaft, that ensure the stability of the whole of the fixed shaft system.

[0032] In the same plans, the machine or generating rooms can be seen, where the gearing, the rotary shaft with increase speed gear box and the dynamo or conventional generator are located, to which will be added, accumulators and electrical current control equipment, maintenance stores for the system and spare parts according to the design of each specific installation, as required by the construction practice.

[0033] In the domestic or industrial models, the panels frames will be light and resistant sreel or aluminum pipes, or other existing or materials designed especially for its function and necessary aerodynamic form. The vanes will be of light plates, plastic, reinforced glass fiber, stainless steel or other flat laminated material, doubled, with a structure and ends determined by practice and trials, in order give minimum flexion from the impact of the wind in cases of storms or strong winds.

[0034] The shafts or spindles of the panels will be designed, taking into account the risk of flexion, and so they will not jump out of position and be lost, they will be installed with removable bearing housings screwed or bolted to the panel frame in order to facilitate their change or maintenance. The bearings must be thoroughly protected against corrosion, with protectors or removable caps having seals or retainers incorporated into the bearing housings. The stops shall have shock absorbers made of rubber, polyurethane or other suitable material to avoid breaking the vanes by impacting each other.

[0035] Names, Parts and Procedures for the Invention

[0036] For reasons of order, the parts or components of the invention, have been organized with the following names for each of the parts and procedures, in order to request due intellectual property protection, which will serve as a basis for the claims which are as follows:

[0037] GEEM-0001.—FIXED STRUCTURE: Static structure, anchored to ground or floating, of steel or concrete, of variable form and size, being the element on which the whole “GEEM” system is built, and which serves as the support to the rotary structure, containing the rotary shaft bearings and the rails in the hydraulic or marine model..

[0038] GEEM-0002.—ROTARY STRUCTURE: This is the set of elements, which, by rotary or circular motion, generates mechanical energy, consisting of a central cylindrical shaft, that rotates in bearings installed in the center of the fixed structure, receiving the impulse from the water or wind through the frames of self-regulating panels, at the same time receiving the impulse from the oscillatory vanes. The rotary structure in the eolic model will have the shaft, panels and vanes in the vertical position, and horizontal in the hydraulic and marine model.

[0039] GEEM-0003.—UNIDIRECTIONAL ROTARY MOVEMENT: Independent of the direction of the water or wind vector, programmable in its sense or direction at will, by the arrangement of the vanes in relation to the shaft of the panel frames, the position of which determines a circular movement towards the right or left of the rotary shaft and which is programmed in the following way:

[0040] For the vanes turning clockwise, the initial moment of rotation will be with the left panel, aligned or closed, with the vanes turning on their shafts to the right side and overlapping the following one with its left side, at the same time that the panel on the right side has the vanes aligned with the water or wind direction, and opened or perpendiculars to the shaft of the panel on the right side.

[0041] For the panels turning anti-clockwise, the right side panel will be, receiving the impulse from the water or wind towards the left, turning the vanes with the shafts towards the left side and overlapping the following one with its right side or edge, at the same time that the left side panel has the vanes opened or aligned with the water or wind direction, a position which determines that the rotary shaft makes a unidirectional movement independent of the direction of the water or wind, which for patenting purposes is called a procedure.

[0042] GEEM-0004.—ROTARY SHAFT: Consists of a cylindrical steel pipe or other material, divided into four or more equal parts, with bearings at each end,, installed at the center of the system, to which the panel frames will be bolted or welded, also containing the brake for stopping the system for maintenance or installation and coupled by pinions or a pulley system to the transmission system to the speed change gearbox.

[0043] GEEM-0005.—PANEL FRAMEWORK: Consists of two rectangular or aerodynamic pipes for each panel, that will be welded or bolted to the rotary shaft, at 90° and in radial form to the other panel frame, the distance between them being determined by the length or size of the vanes, parallel between pairs or panels, containing vane spindles, spindle bearings and the self-regulating stops, the parallel distance being maintained by perpendicular pipes and diagonal ties or turn buckles on the side opposite to the area of oscillation of the vanes.

[0044] GEEM-0006.—SELF-REGULATING PANELS: Flat surface element, of rectangular or square form , contained in the panel framework, with a turning motion, divided into rectangular parts oscillating lengthwise, with a surface which when closed, converts it into a closed panel impounding the force of water or wind and when it is open to return or pass against that same natural force, generating a continuous rotary movement, and converting the force of water or wind into mechanical energy and this, into electrical energy.

[0045] GEEM-0007.—OSCILLATORY VANES: Component dividing the panel into rectangular elements, laminated and flat, with double skinned sides and ends with a structural function, manufactured in two forms: First, with projecting cylindrical shafts from one side to the two ends. Second, with moldings or semi-cylindrical relief at both ends for the bearing mounting shaft, or oscillating spindle. The vanes will be manufactured with light laminated steel, plastic or reinforced fiber glass plates, with protective finishes against environmental corrosion. Includes molded adjustment covers installed with bolts or rivets, for pipes or spindles for mounting bearings.

[0046] GEEM-0008.—OSCILLATORY VANE MOVEMENTS: Procedure characterized by the automatic self-regulation of the vanes in relation to the direction of movement of the water or wind and the panel framework. The vane, the movement of which during a 360° rotation of the panel, is the essence of the present invention, and will have the following steps:

[0047] Taking as first step or initial position of the panel for a turn of 360°, a position completely against the direction of the water or wind, the vanes palettes will be aligned one behind the other to the shaft of the panel framework, whether to the left or right of the rotary shaft, overlapping or closing the whole panel. In this position, said panel will receive the maximum impulse from the water or wind, an impulse that will be transmitted to the rotary shaft through the panel framework.

[0048] At the start of the following quarter turn, the vanes continue to be aligned with the shaft of the panel framework, with the water and wind direction, offering as total resistance, the thickness of the double structure of a single vane or the minimum of the whole turn.

[0049] In the following 90° of rotation, with the frameworks at 180°, the vanes that they were aligned with the water or wind direction and the panel framework, will open, turning 90° on its eccentric shaft, allowing the water or wind to pass freely, each vane offering in resistance, only its structural thickness and together the sum of the vane thicknesses.

[0050] Toward 270°, the vanes prevented from turning through more than 90° on the shaft, will present the most turning resistance, but will continue follow open or parallel to each other, allowing the water or wind to pass without difficulty. In the fourth fraction toward 360°, the vanes in a perpendicular position to the shaft of the panel, will give a total resistance equal to the width of a single vane, being ready to be turned on the shaft of the panel to be closed again, continuously generating a rotary movement that it is the object of the invention.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS AND FIGURES

[0072]FIG. 1.—SECTION OF EOLIC GENERATOR PLANT: The plan is a horizontal court of the eolic system, in which 3 squared columns at 90° and 180° of a hypothetical shaft of the system to be installed, are identified by cross-hatching, as well as the supporting trusses and the upper and lower supports for the rotary shaft, illustrated in the center as a circle and a point, four panel frameworks at 90° each, on the axis of which the spindles or shafts of five vanes are located, in the position they adopt in each frame work relative to the wind direction, which is indicated by arrows.

[0073] The position adopted by the vanes in each quarter turn of a 360° revolution is clearly shown as well as the intermediate positions with a section of the frames. So, in the left frame, the vanes are seen to be closed, receiving the total impulse of the wind, which we will call position zero or initial. (circle 1).

[0074] In the second quarter at 90° turning clockwise, (circle 2) the vanes are aligned with the wind without causing any resistance to it.

[0075] Towards 180°, while the panel frame turns, the vanes are always aligned with the wind tat 90°, or perpendicular to the panel frame, at which time the wind passes by freely.

[0076] Towards 270° the panel frame is at 90° to the initial point with the perpendicular vanes, offering a resistance equal only to the width of one vane. Towards 360° or the initial point, the vanes will offer a little more resistance but are ready to be pushed to the axis of the panel frame, to repeat the circular movement generated indefinitely.

DETAILED EXPLANATION OF HOW THE INVENTION WAS BUILT

[0161] To validate the theory of this invention, an experimental eolic generator was built as follows:

[0162] 1.—A fixed structure for an eolic GEEM was designed and built, with panels of 48″×64″ having an impulse area of 1,92 m² per panel. The fixed structure was designed and built in the form of a “C” with a triangular structured support column with a 12″ side by 112″ high, made with 1½″ angle and ½″ square rods, two horizontal beams perpendicular to the column 60″ long, of “U” channels 2″×6″, with external struts and ties, placed parallel and 80″ apart, to give sufficient space between the two beams for the rotary system, formed by four panels of 48″×63″ each.

[0163] At the ends of the horizontal beams, supports for the bearings of the rotary structure were installed, these being converted into the axis or center of the system. In the said supports, bearings for 2″ diameter pipes were installed, the lower bearing being a taper roller type and the upper one a roller bearing.

[0164] 2—The rotary shaft was constructed using light black steel pipe 2″ diameter, with the ends turned down to seat the bearings, and on the extended end of the pipe the gear pinion to transmit the rotary motion to the conventional generator was installed.

[0165] 3.—The four panel frames, welded to the rotary shaft, consisted of eight rectangular tubes 2″×1″ welded at 90″ to the rotary shaft, and 64″ apart, diagonal tensioning ties of ¼″ diameter steel rod were welded from the top of the rotary shaft to the outside top edge of the panel frames and from the bottom of the rotary shaft to the bottom outside edge of the panel frames, to prevent vertical flexing.

[0166] 4.—Vanes of 12″×63″, were manufactured with longitudinal bends of ¾″ side at 90°, on the oscillation shaft side, and of 1″, on the opposite side in the opposie direction to give the vane a Z shaped section, for the purpose of completely closing the overlap of the vanes to the passage of air. The upper and lower edges of the panel were reinforced by pieces bent in the form of a triangle. The material used for the vanes was fiber-glass, because of its light weight and high resistance to flexing and its plasticity and resistance to the outdoor elements, rain and oxidation.

[0167] 5—Experimentally, an optimum point for the oscillation shaft on the vane was sought, testing several points as oscillation shafts, obtaining a high performance with it at the edge of the vane, where the mathematical axis of the spindles is equal to the vertex of the vanes, in such a way that the vane presents its whole surface to receive the impulsive force of wind or water and the resistance will be zero. In these conditions with the axis of the spindle at the edge of the vanes the full power yielded by them is obtained, as in a plate bending machine where the edge of maximum power is equal at the axis of its hinges.

[0168] However, taking into account that air and water are gaseous and liquid elements and for constructive design reasons, the spindles have to remain trapped or wrapped by the plates of fiber glass or steel and be fixed by removable covers, bolted on one side of the longitudinal resistance section and on the other by the flat section of the vanes; the axis of the spindles and bearings of the vanes, will be determined by the volume or radius of the vane spindle, plus the thickness of the plate of which it is made, being displaced slightly from the edge of the vane with relation to the indicated elements.

[0169] For the experimental vane, a fiber-glass model was die-cast, making 16 vanes for four panels with four vanes each, and also the semi-cylindrical clamps for fixing the bearing housing pipes.

[0170] 6.—The oscillating shaft bearings were installed in the vanes with the bearing housing pipes and the semi-cylindrical clamps, sealing the opposite ends of the bearing with resin and fiber glass to prevent filtration of water into the bearings.

[0171] 7.—Were installed the palettes, on spindles or oscillation shafts, previously welded to the lower panel frame and fixed to the upper spindle with molded fixing plates for ¼″ diameter spindles, adding fiber glass seals for protection against rain.

[0172] 8.—Were installed by welding and screws, the ceilings of alighnemet or of departure and them of final oscillation to 90° in each mark of the panels, consistent in spindles outstanding of the marks, that limit by shock the oscillatory movement of the palettes, protected with a softening material as the rubber, for reduce the noise by shock, with the panels as well as give durability to the palettes.

[0173] 9.—Observing certain disagreement in the oscillatory reaction of the palettes, were installed rods things or aligning light round profiles or regulatory between palettes, below the sames, opting for a revolving spring in the form of a screwed shaft of ¼″ in such a way that the regulator profile to be inserted to the support by a kind of socket-pan installed in the profile to the same distance of the shafts of the palettes, maintain them in a uniform or constant variable position, to condition of that the distance between the shafts of the spindles of oscillation will be exactly equal to the shafts of the aligner profile.

[0174] It was proven with great satisfaction that the invention was an extraordinary succes because in spite of be found in a workshop without roof of 17′×20 foot. with an air that was bouncing in the walls and would come from different addresses, the panels were turning and the palettes was comported exactly as were anticipated. The rotary movement had a permanent sense of right to left or in opposite sense to the clock.

[0175] 10—It was transfered the “GEEM”, to a roof of 18 foots of high and were installed on some structures of iron, letting as generation room the interior below of the roof, toward where leaves the scion of the rotary shaft. With free wind the “GEEM” tour with great energy and force. It has not been arrived to the experimental stage of electrical generation by lack of economic resources and it is not indispensable requirement to make it, because is obvious that having rotary movement, turned out to be it totally positive, and electrical energy to obtain will depend of the size and location of the definitive experimental model. It is let constancy that the photograph that is attached to the present patent request has the object of demonstrate that the rotary movement by panels auto rregulables and oscillatory palettes is a concrete reality and totally demonstrated.

[0176] 11.—By economic reasons has not been built neither installed the rotary cylinder of additional impulse, nor the system of conventional electrical generation that in the course of the evaluation will be installed.
